There was a time before you, and a time with you. I never thought there would also be a time after you.

Best-selling author Colleen Hoover’s breakout hit is being adapted into a groundbreaking film about motherhood, forgiveness, and the love that helps us overcome even the worst of our mistakes.

At the end of a perfect evening spent with her boyfriend, Kenna (Maika Monroe) makes a terrible mistake that lands her in prison. Seven years later, Kenna returns to her hometown in Wyoming, hoping to rebuild her life and get the chance to meet her daughter, Diem, whom she has never gotten to know.

When Diem’s grandparents, who are acting as her guardians, stubbornly reject Kenna’s attempts to see her, she finds unexpected compassion—and ultimately something more genuine and profound—from Ledger, a former NFL player and local bar owner (Tyriq Withers). As their secret romance deepens, so do the dangers that push Kenna toward heartbreak—and ultimately toward the hope of a second chance.

The cast includes Lauren Graham and three-time Emmy winner Bradley Whitford, who play Dime’s grandparents, Grace and Patrick. Rudy Pankow plays Dime’s father, Scotty, and Grammy winner and country music sensation Lainey Wilson plays Kenna’s friend and coworker, Amy. Other roles include Jennifer Robertson as Kenna’s landlady, Zoe Kosovic as Kenna’s daughter, Hilary Jardine and Nicholas Duvernay as bar staff at Ledger’s, and Monika Myers, making her big-screen debut, as Kenna’s neighbor Lady Diana.

The all-female creative team includes Vanessa Caswill, who is directing the film based on a screenplay adapted from Colleen Hoover and Lauren Levine’s novel. The film was produced by Colleen Hoover, Lauren Levine, and Gina Matthews, with Robin Mulcahy Fisichella serving as executive producer. Universal Pictures presents the Heartbones Entertainment and Little Engine production: Memories of Him.

Published in 2022, *Memories of Her* has sold over 6 million copies in the United States and has been translated into 45 languages. Hoover has written several best-selling novels, including *It Ends with Us*, *It Begins with Us*, *Heart Bones*, and *Verity’s Shadow*.
